Kerry Roberts, BACP

Kerry Roberts practises a client-centred approach to therapy and draws on structured techniques when useful. She is Kerry Roberts, BACP, and she aims to help people manage anxiety, stress and trauma. Her manner is straightforward and focused on what each person needs right now.

Kerry uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. She also applies elements of dialectical behaviour therapy to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. Solution-focused methods are used to set clear, achievable goals and track progress.

She has four years of professional experience as a counsellor working with mood disorders, bipolar difficulties, ADHD and related struggles. Her additional focus areas include attachment issues, codependency, first responder concerns, guilt and shame, obsessions and compulsions, panic, personality disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, social anxiety and workplace problems.

Kerry keeps explanations plain and offers step-by-step plans rather than long theoretical talks. Sessions tend to centre on practical tools, short experiments to try between meetings, and time to talk through painful experiences when needed.

People can expect collaborative work that blends listening with clear techniques. Kerry supports work on low mood and self-esteem alongside managing intense emotions and trauma-related symptoms. She encourages small, steady changes that fit into everyday life.

How Kerry's approaches translate to online work

Kerry commonly uses client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the person and helping them find their own solutions. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to test thinking and build helpful habits; it is often used for anxiety, depression and panic.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centred listening, CBT techniques or some DBT skills fit best. That choice is reviewed over time and shaped by the person's goals and preferences.

Please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and help people practise skills in the settings where they live and work. Registered and accredited professionals vary in how they deliver remote care, so checking session formats and scheduling details is recommended before starting.
